Why Hybrid?Hybrid cycles combine different features of mountain and road bikes to provide a multipurpose bicycle. Like mountain bikes they have a wide gear ratio and upright straight handlebars. They also share the narrow tyres, more suitable for riding on the road and often feature large road cycle wheels to make commuting less exhausting. |

Why Folding?If part of your journey is on a train then a folding bike is a must! As trains continue to reduce the number of bikes allowed, a folding bicycle navigates around this issue nicely. The average weight of a folding cycle is being reduced all the time and the folding mechanisms get simpler. They also store neatly under your desk. |

Why Single Speed?There is a large range of single speed bikes that, as the name suggests, only have one gear. Unlike full fixed gear bikes they have freewheels, meaning that when the rider stops pedalling the rear wheel will keep turning and you can free wheel downhill. Single speed bikes tend to be very popular with commuters as on the trip to work the last thing that a rider needs is to have the gears go wrong. By only having one gear, the chances of mechanical failure are greatly reduced. |
